Mun làrach-lìn seo (ABOUT)

‘S ann mu bheul-aithris agus geasagan an tuath a tha an làrach-lìn seo, agus cuideachd na h-experiences os-nàdarra pearsanta agam. Chì thu measgachadh farsaing de artaigilean agus dealbhan a thog mi fhìn cuideachd.

Carson an do thagh mi an t-ainm “Coire an Eòlais”? Uill, tha mi air an t-ainm seo a thagh air sgàth ‘s gun robh mi fhìn agus caraid ag iarriadh pod-chraoladh far an gabhadh sinn srùbag agus bruidhinn mu na cuspairean as fheàrr leinn. Mar sin, thagh sinn ‘Coire’ oir tha e a’ ciallachadh ‘Kettle’ ach cuideachd ‘Cauldron’ agus tha sin ceangailte ri draoidheachd, agus an fhacal ‘Eòlas’ gus fios-freagart a thoirt dha na seann dhaoine aig an robh an t-eòlas seo.

This website is about folklore, folk magic, as well as unnatural personal experiences I have had, and many other topics of this sort! You will see a wide range of different articles and even pictures I have taken myself.

Why did I choose the name “Coire an Eòlais”? One day a friend and I were talking about doing a podcast together and we really enjoyed the idea of a podcast where we would just grab a quick cuppa and chat about whatever magical topic we wanted, so we managed to create this name. ‘Coire’ is the Gàidhlig word for ‘kettle’ but can also mean ‘cauldron’, which is quite nicely linked to the cozy and magical vibe we wanted. Furthermore, we chose ‘Eòlas’ as this indicates (in folklore) a kind of magical healing wisdom, and so we chose that to acknowledge the elders and folk who had this knowledge and who still carry it.
